Submissive gun rights advocates need to lose their submissiveness before we lose our 2A rights.

Jackam, Keep a close eye on your dog because it only takes a very small piece of a quill to cause some nasty infection. Easy to have a piece break off when pulling them or just a little piece that you never saw. Those pieces just keep working themselves deeper as time goes on.
Happened to one of our dogs when I was kid.Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do.

Good advice about keep checking the dog, friend lost his bird dog to a missed quill that traveled to the dogs brain.

He has a lump like 1/2 a hard boiled egg under his right eye. Originally Posted by gjgalligan

We have a follow up appointment on Monday. I imagine that they will keep him, sedate him, and start slicing.
I pulled a quill out from this area when it happened. That quill was invisible - embedded in the skin totally. I felt it between his upper lip and outer fur. I punched it through into his mouth until I could grab a piece with the needle nose and yank it inward. I'm sure I got it all, but there was probably another that I must have missed.
It's not bothering him, but it's not right. It bothers me!"But then there are plenty of gun folks who think no one should rock the boat because it might piss off the anti gun crowd/politicians and cause even more gun control." - Bikenut

Yes, vet had to sedate and cut leg open to find the tip of the quill. Originally Posted by dirtmcgirt76239

I wondered if an xray would show a quill. It's all soft tissue - so maybe! Originally Posted by dramey82
